The legislation also sets specific limits on how much these trustees can be paid for their service and outlines procedures for filling vacancies.

Additionally, it clarifies that existing facilities authorized before 1995 are considered permitted and exempts certain water treatment facilities from needing new solid waste permits if they already hold valid water quality permits.
